Show moreUpon returning to New Orleans after an initial survey of Texas in the summer of 1821, Stephen F. Austin issued this permit stating the terms under which Austin would admit settlers to the colony. The formal procedure for an immigrant seeking admission to Austin's Colony required that he present himself to Austin upon arrival, register his name, and take an oath to support the federal and state constitutions. He thus became an applicant and was given a permit to select land. The settler then was required to give notice of his choice of land within thirty days and to petition for the land. Instructions were then issued to the surveyor to survey and plat the land and, upon payment of fees, the commissioner issued the title.

Show moreTitle page of the List; Ledger recording the first settlers in Austin's original colony. Those settlers, the first Americans to settle in Texas legally, are known today as the Old Three Hundred. Austin's original plan for land distribution was superseded by a colonization law in 1823 by which each family received not less than one labor (177 acres) or one league (4428 acres) of land depending on whether the head of household was a farmer or stockman. Commissioner Baron de Bastrop issued the lands and titles to settlers designated by Austin. The three hundred families were nearly all in Texas by 1824, and the work of issuing the titles continued until 1827. One of the premier documents of Texas history, Austin's ledger lists the name of the settler and designates the location and quantities of land and the date of title.
